I’d just like to thank Tod Daniels for his excellent and on point free advice. I pay a business advisor and they had zero advice lol. Anyhow got a letter from British embassy the following morning after I emailed them. They were helpful in asking not for an extension to my non B but asked this. ... The British Embassy would therefore be grateful if the Kingdom of Thailand Immigration Bureau would consider facilitating their application for a non-immigrant visa in accordance with the Kingdom of Thailand Immigration Bureau’s requirements.

However my bad. I didn’t get it translated into Thai as they’ve given me the standard under consideration stamp and I return on 11 oct.

So in essence then from my understanding is that my non B is now invalid and the 30 day stamp is the equivalent to a tourist visa. Is that right.
